B. Listen to a talk about frog legs. Take notes and complete thefollowing summary.
People want frogs mostly for food. Many Asian cultures have included frog legsin their diets for centuries —or at least until they have run out of frogs. But themost famous frogeaters, and the people who inspired frogeating in Europe andthe United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concernedabout the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its ownamphibians*. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.
As happened in France, American frogleg fanciers and restaurants also turnedincreasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from governmentagencies, the United States imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frogmeat each year between 1981 and 1984.
So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the UnitedStates. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they havebigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog’slegs from India cost about £1.75, compared with £3.75 for the French variety.
Indian scientists have described as “disastrous” the rate at which frogs aredisappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops bydevouring* damaging insects.
Since the India and Bangladesh frogexport bans, Indonesia
has become themajor exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter whatcountry the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belong tofrogs that are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearly impossible tofarm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested fromthe wild.

club here lastsummer. Canyou tell me
something about the club?
Lorna: Yes, well we offer a choice of facilities —gym,
sunbed*, sauna* andJacuzzi* —that’s also
from Scandinavia —as well as our
regularfitness classe s, that is. And there’s a
wholefood bar for refreshmentsafterwards.
Interviewer: And does it cost a lot? I mean, most people think
health clubs arereally expensive.
Lorna: Actually our rates are really quite competitive. Since
we only startedlast July, we’ve kept them
down to attract customers. It’s only £30a year
to join. Then an hour in the gym costs £2.50
—the same ashalf an hour on the sunbed.
Sauna and Jacuzzi are both £1.50 forhalf an
hour.
Interviewer: And is the club doing well?
Lorna: Well, so far, yes, it’s doing really well. I had no idea it was going tobe such a success, actually. We’re
both very pleased. The sunbed’s sopopular,
especially with the over 65s, that we’re getting
another onein August.
Interviewer: What kind of people join the club?
Lorna: We have people of all ages here, from small children to oldagepensioners, though of course the
majority, about threequarters ofour members,
are in their 20s and 30s. They come in their
lunchhour, to use the gym, mostly, or after
work, while the youngsterscome when school
finishes, around half past three or four.
TheJacuzzi’s very popular with the little ones. Interviewer: What about the oldage pensioners?
Lorna: They’re usually around in the mornings, when we
offer themspecial reduced rates —for the
Jacuzzi or sauna, plus sunbed, it’sonly £2,

Sally: What on earth is that?
Simon: Can’t you guess?
Sally: Well, it looks like a pile of people. You know, sort of on top of eachother.
Teresa: It is!
Sally: How did that happen?
Simon: Well, you see we were all pretty hopeless at first.
Every day Werner usedto take us to the nursery slope*
to practise, and to get to the top you hadto go up on a
ski lift*.
Teresa: Which wasn’t really very easy.
Simon: No, and if you fell off you’d start sliding down the
slope, right into all thepeople coming up!
Sally: Mmm.
Simon: Well, on that day we were all going up on the ski lift, you know, we werejust getting used to it, and, you see
there was this one woman in ourclass who never got
the hang of* it. She didn’t have any sort of controlover
her skis and whenever she started sliding, she would
sort of stickher ski sticks out in front of her, you know,
like swords or something.
Teresa: I always tried to avoid her, but on that day I was right behind her onthe ski lift and just as she was getting to
the top, she slipped and startedsliding down the slope.
Sally: Did she?
Simon: Mmm, with her ski sticks waving around in front of her!
Teresa: So of course everyone sort of let go and tried to jump off the ski lift toget out of the way.
Simon: And that’s how they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope —it was lucky I had my camera
with me.
Sally: I bet that woman was popular!

Part 3 Passage
The Truth about the French!
Script
B.Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each ofthe
questions you will hear.
Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier.
There are resortswhere you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah*and Colorado* combined.
The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is agood idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normallymuch better than the restaurants in the ski stations.
French resorts are mostly government owned and operated.
The social systemputs a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides stateoftheart*lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier whocan read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds,even during the busiest season.
The French school systems have a staggered* twoweek
winter vacation period.When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for thisperiod. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first weekof March. The time to absolutely avoid is the “Paris school holiday week” whichwill always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting thefirst or second week of the break.
No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character thanthe French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. True, in largetourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you’re looking for or expectingrudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in thecountryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance.The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.
When greeting someone or saying goodbye, always shake hands. Don’t usea firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter aroom or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you knowvery well, use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don’t usually kiss unlessthey are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies andwhere you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, whatsomeone does for a living,
income and age. Questions about personal and familylife are considered private. Expect to find the French wellinformed about thehistory, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be preparedto show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.
France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are notunheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Alwayssecure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don’t carry your wallet inyour back pocket. Beware of begging children!
Questions:
1. How large are the ski resorts in France?
2. Why do people prefer to eat lunch at the mountain restaurants?
3. How do most of the French resorts operate?
4. What kind of vacation do French students usually have?
5. What kind of unfair reputation do the French have?
6. What is recommended when greeting someone or saying goodbye?
7. What are good topics of conversation?
8. What is still necessary when visiting France?
C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the followingquestions. Key
A. Skiing can be divided into crosscountry skiing and alpine
skiing. Crosscountryskiing is a lowimpact, aerobic activity. It is becoming increasinglypopular. It can be enjoyed even if you have
a relatively low skill level. It does notrequire exorbitant lift fees,
and it has a relatively low injury rate (crosscountryskiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing). Skiing uses moremuscles than running and is less stressful on the legs.
Alpine or downhill skiing is a popular family sport shared by people of all agesand athletic abilities. It has less benefits for aerobic fitness than crosscountryskiing because activity is usually in short bursts, but it is good for strengtheningmuscles particularly those in the upper leg. Alpine skiing is also a tough sport,particularly demanding on the legs.
B. 1. C 2. A 3. A 4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 8. D
C.1. Because there are resorts where you can access skiing terrain
that is larger thanall the ski resorts in Utah and Colorado

2. Because in a French resort an intermediate skier who can
read a lift map willeasily be able to ski all day avoiding lift
lines and crowds, even during thebusiest season.
3. This staggered twoweek winter vacation period usually
covers the last twoweeks of February and the first week of
March.
4. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Generally
they are as kind asyou wish.
5. In large cities in France, always secure your vehicles, leave
nothing of valuevisible and don’t carry your wallet in your
back pocket. Beware of beggingchildren!
D. 1. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the
mountains forthis period. The break usually covers the

“Well,” said mother, “one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcarran over me. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in theground so hard that I broke my nose! It sure caused a lot of chaos*. People screamed,the police came, and I just crawled out, brushed myself off and went home. The onlything I ever noticed different about me was a crooked nose.”I just looked at her noseand looked at Mama in utter disbelief!
Section Four Supplementary Exercises
Part 1 Passage
Babies and Intelligence
A. Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.
Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five orsix months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on theirfirst day of life.
Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Developmentnote that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a babywill smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get thebest care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is howbabies learn to connect and communicate with other humans. This ability tolearn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognizeand understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside theirmothers.
The Finnish researchers used devices to measure the babies’ brain activity.The researchers played recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while thebabies slept.
The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleep because thepart of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remains active at night. The cortexis very important for learning. This part of the brain is not active in adults whilethey sleep.
Many experts say the first years of a child’s life are important for all laterdevelopment. An American study shows
how mothers can strongly influencesocial development and language skills in their children. The study involved morethan 1,200 mothers and children. Researchers studied the children from the age ofone month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their childrenfour times during this period.
The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. Thewomen were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities anddid not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and languagedevelopment when they were three years old.
The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children ofwomen who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed womendid poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. Thesechildren also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with otherpeople.
Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generally are moreintelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of a child at seven years of ageis directly linked to his or her weight at birth. Study organizers say this is probablybecause heavier babies received more nutrition* during important periods ofbrain development before they were born.
The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City usedtraditional tests to measure intelligence.
Brothers and sisters were tested so thatthe effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet orother considerations.
The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally didbetter on the intelligence tests. Also, the link between birth weight and intelligencelater in life was stronger for boys than for girls.
